Hello, dear friends!! Welcome to our "Tea Time on Tuesday" and "Vintage Alphabet Party"

What is it about handpainted china. . .
that makes my heart skip a beat. . .


makes me smile from head to toe?


I so admire those who can paint these lovely pieces, don't you?



I am sharing with you today, sweet friends, some of my favorite pieces. . .plates, cups, saucers, tea caddy, tea strainer and




tea trivet. I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of my favorite things around "Bunny Cottage".




For the Vintage Alphabet Party, our letters are "N" and "O". For "N" I am sharing vintage needlework, a favorite southern belle linen. I think the needlework on this piece is extraordinary.







And for "O" some old garden roses from my garden. These roses are called "La Marne". Please visit those who are participating in our tea time by going here to see our wonderful hostesses: Martha @ http://marthasfavorites.com/ Sandi @ http://sandimyyellowdoor.blogspot.com/ and Terri @ http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com For those participating in the etsy cottage style vintage alphabet party, please visit here: http://etsycottagestyle.blogspot.com/
Have a lovely week and may God bless each and every one of you always!!
